Stop overpaying for Photoshop: Adobe cuts prices by 40% – but there’s a catch

Adobe has discounted a range of subscription plans for a limited time only – so from now until February 2, it has cut the price of the Creative Cloud Pro plan for individuals by 40% for the first year.

There’s also 40% off licenses for Creative Cloud Pro for Teams, which includes business extras like tech support and Admin Console.

And Creative Cloud Pro for Students and Teachers gets a massive 80% off for the first year, bringing the price down to $12.49 a month, which is one of the best deals I’ve seen for this Adobe plan.

All these subscriptions include industry-standard heavy-hitters like Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Acrobat Pro, InDesign, and Illustrator. They also feature generous cloud storage and monthly credits to generate premium images and videos using Adobe’s ubiquitous Firefly AI.

Adobe has consistently set the gold-standard for professional-grade creative software. My team and I have tested everything from the best photo editors and best video editing software to the best PDF editors, and every time, Adobe’s apps have come out top.

Creative Cloud Pro is a generous package, bundling in all the best creative tools Adobe has to offer right now – over 20 of them, in fact, including top-end tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere Pro, as well as niche apps like Audition, After Effects, Lightroom, and Dreamweaver.

At the end of last year, we calculated the cost to figure out if the subscription plan was worth getting (you can read the full article here). The upshot is, if you subscribe to three or more Adobe apps, then you’ll save money.

The current Adobe deals run until February 2 and are available to new users in the US and Canada.
